MSU is working to put an end to the Whiskey Shower

Girlfriend...no...wife--yes, daughters--yes except we rarely get much in the club level. Quit being such a douche.
The halftime science guy should definitely make one of his skits on this subject. "Getting hit in the back of the head by a full cup of whiskey and coke , from 18 rows up, would be equivalent to 150 times the force of a Rick Stansbury slap."
In the late 90's we threw condoms
5 or 6 guys would stop by the health department during the week prior to games & each pick up one of the free sacks of condoms. "When you score, you need a condom".... by the end of the game people had blown many of them up like balloons & they bounced around the student section like beach balls.
Always entertaining & nobody got hurt

" I didnt say anything about someone throwing a drink from the top deck, out of a car, at small children, at women, at the elderly, or any other outrageous assumption you are trying to come up with. "
Women don't sit in the student section any longer? Hell, that was the only reason I ever wanted to be over there was for the women.

Good points all around.
Not cool in South Alabama game. The game does count. I get that everyone that actually buys non-student season tix(I'm included in this group) thinks they deserve to legislate what should or shouldn't go on in the student section. That's not the case. The student section is a different animal, and for the sake of the atmosphere, we need it to be a different animal. We need people that are hammered drunk wrecked in the SS(to the point where they do the whiskey showers). We need that. Some people on here and other boards have complained ab the atmoshphere of the SS lately. What do you think is going to happen if you start confiscating liquor pregame? They're gonna leave and watch it outside. Is it a ***** move to do that? Yes. But that's how they're gonna be.
I also understand the guy that sits nearby and is worried about getting hit in the head. I used to always turn around and look up after scores so you can see it coming and catch it or avoid it. As far as people complaining about being sticky or messing up their shirt-just keep bitching about the hot dogs and the cups and the intro videos and the uniforms and the junction being "a refuse pile" etc. I swear to God, State fans will ***** and ***** and ***** about every little thing. I don't care. We are 4-0 and that's all I care about. I care about winning. All that other **** is secondary. Yeah, having a great "gameday experience" is great for people who have never been to games or for a team that sucks, but we're #19 in the country. Just shut up and enjoy the product on the field. It doesn't happen very often here. Yes, it is possible to have all that you desire o buyer of tickets o donater of money, but some gratitude for the thing we all really came to watch-the damn team.

Taking tickets away just isn't enough
Any lunatic that throws a drink at a football game should be ejected, fined, and forced to work with the stadium's clean-up crew.

This ^^
Point a camera at the student section and record. Also have police and game staff patrolling for the first few games. Identify the people throwing cups. Take away their student tickets and mark their ID as not allowed into the stadium FOR THE REST OF THEIR COLLEGE CAREER AT MSU! The threat of never being able to attend another MSU game will fix the problem.
My understanding is with student tickets you actually scan your id to get in, is that right or is that just basketball?

Just basketball and baseball. Football still tears tickets. You use your student id to purchase tickets.
Ok, assign the student you catch a red student ID card that lets the staff know he's not allowed in the stadium. Still fixed!
I think what you are missing as far as football goes is that you must have a student id and a ticket, but you do not scan your student id at football games. They just glance at it to confirm if you have an id card. I could bring in an id card of someone else and that validate me as a student. They rarely spend time looking at the actual picture on the id itself. At basketball and baseball you actually scan your student id card to get cleared to go in.
If you issued a student a red student id, and disabled the one they currently possess, it will only surmise for basketball and baseball. They could easily get a student to hand them a card through the gate.

This post right here is why we have the problem. You will always have that random guy who truly thinks it's cool to throw their drink. Throwing drinks doesn't add to the game-day atmosphere because people are pissed off the whole game because they have to constantly look over their shoulder to make sure they aren't getting drilled in the back of the head. What Frat sits in the part of the student section closest to mid field in the upper half of the lower section? I would really like to know what group these morons belong to.
Don't throw bottles of booze or coke bottles. But throwing a half empty whiskey drink is alright by me. It gets nasty in the student section.. thats why I love it.
Whiskey showers gotta go if they end up frisking every student to take away their flasks... But in all honesty if you can't handle having whiskey thrown on you after a big touchdown in a big game don't sit in the student section. Either sit up top where no one should be throwing anything from or sit in the north endzone. I always get annoyed at the people who sit in the student section and get mad at students for cussing, smoking cigs, or other things that college kids do. You don't have to agree with it but know where you are.
Taking their tickets and banning them is probably sufficient.
It'd be tough to enforce a ban, but charging them with trespassing if they try to get around it might put some teeth in it. You could even put up most douchey posters and offer a $50 reward for turning trespassers in if it results in a conviction for trespassing.
Even if the ban was essentially useless, assuming we sell out of student tickets, it's not nothing to have to find replacement tickets. It probably wouldn't be too difficult for most students, but as big of a douche bag move throwing your drink on somebody below you is, that's probably a decent enough punishment to cut down on it.

Smoking is even worse than whiskey showers. If you want to kill yourself, fine, but research has shown how dangerous second hand smoke is, and no smoker has the right to inflict that on the hundreds who will be exposed in the tightly-packed student section. Anyone smoking in the stadium should be ejected, no questions asked.
Well said.
I like the student section rowdy. Liked it when I was a student and still like to see it that way. I actually enjoyed the showers I got after the Anthony Johnson pick of John Parker Wilson and the Derek Pegues punt return in the Egg Bowl in 07. The lower student section fills to the brim well before gametime, so it must not be bothering that many people. But I will say this - no excuse for glass bottle throwing, and upper deck fans should never throw anything.
For those it does bother - end zone bleachers or upper deck are pretty laid back as far as student sections go. And for those non-students that sit in the sections right close by the student section, you are probably high enough in bulldog club ranking that you can name your spot in the stadium. Just move. I'll trade you my upper deck 20th row seats anytime. I promise you won't get hit because there are only a few rows above you and people don't throw upward.
I'll take our whiskey cup throwing student section all day over the seated, 25 people, acting like they're in church, leaving at halftime USM student section.

WTF? When I was at State, the whiskey anything was something that was done at OM, and they did it every single game. Every once in a great while, some idiot would throw a cup of water, and that cup would be thrown back up into the crowd... but I never recall anything widespread like that.
holy carp. i can't believe what i've read in this thread. hell... let me add to it, to the ***** that think its "all in good fun" to throw a loaded (whatever) at folks... how about i launch my cowbell from 30 rows back? that's all in good fun, and if i nail you, it'll be a rip roaring good time. quit being dumbasses.

I guess we can be thankful we aren't doing whiskey enemas like they do in the grove. Not as dangerous to others, for sure. But geez have some decency.
I sit in Section Q right in front of the Student Section
I realize sitting there is going to have certain things that come along with it, and as long as it doesn't compromise anyones safety, I'm pretty much ok with it. However, I saw a lady two rows in front of me nearly get her head gashed open by a whisky bottle that was about 3 inches from tagging her, and thankfully, it hit the bench in front of them and went into pieces.
Now, how is this not a problem? This was only a few moments before the brawl broke out.
